Short Bio

Jim Jacobs, Ph.D., is a cruise geologist/naturalist, author, and lecturer who brings geology and natural history to life for cruise audiences as a destination or enrichment/special-interest speaker. As a Fulbright award winner, Jim has lectured about geology internationally, at several universities and has led workshops for professional geologists. His books focus on oil and gas spills, hydraulic fracturing, and other environmental topics. He has been lecturing on cruise ships since 2007, providing insights at ports of call about volcanoes, glaciers, tsunamis, earthquakes, WWII shipwrecks, salt mining, and the link between geology and historic beer styles. His live commentaries from the bridge include Greenland’s Prince Christian Sound, the Panama Canal, the Milford Sound on the South Island of New Zealand, Sydney Harbor, Alaska’s inland passage glaciers, Hawaii’s volcanoes, and Santorini’s caldera.
